Performs flawlessly and still in near perfect shape after many times through tight trees smacking branches. It's been great here in Canada and hope the don't discontinue freeride line

Finally put my westcomb eVent jacket through the ringer. Went backpacking in the Olympics with it. And I must say it breathed far better than gore would. I was very impressed. I wish it would stop my sweat however, but that'd be a miracle for the gods.

Could anyone here compare the fit of the Apoc to others brands ? At the moment I have a Peak Heli Alpine Jacket in L but I would like to have a bit more space for layering as I always wear a back protector for freeriding.
I don't know how much help this is, but I don't find any of my Westcomb shells to be roomy. Their fit is fairly consistent across their entire line, and I sized up compared to Patagonia (M->L). Even the "freeride cut" of the vapor fx shell is fairly trim.
Anyone know if Westcomb is nearly out of business? Nobody talks about them anymore and don't see much of their stuff for sale online, and their web store price for the Revenant ski shell is a whopping $750 USD. Maybe they're just selling remaining inventory from a storage unit or something?
Love my Revenant from 2014 or so, was a Steep & Cheap score for about $180. Would like a new one in another color and like eVent a lot, but even if there was one at a Spring clearance sale at half price, it would still be ~$400 and pretty spendy.

They responded to my email and their Facebook page is still active, maybe they tried to use the Kjus $$$$ business model and it didn't take off.
They make great stuff. I've been surprised they haven't become a bigger presence over the last 10 years.
Oh, and made in Canada is sweet.
Love my vapor fx
i found the same thing. i had a mirage L and it was too tight through the shoulders - had to move it. i do have a kokanee hoody L bought in 2015 and it's properly sized. very nice 800 fill ltwt piece, although the hood could use an adjuster.Quote:
